How selling works

Start your sale with peace of mind

With pricing technology, industry expertise, and more than a decade of buying homes online, we make it less stressful to sell yours.

Calculating the estimate

What goes into our estimated offer

This is our first pass. We calculate an estimate based on our pricing data and your home details. You’ll get a final, cash offer when we know more about your home.

Home details

Every home is different. We use the info you shared to make a unique estimate for yours.

Similar home sales

We compare homes that sold recently to yours. We look for similar size, condition, and details.

Market data

If homes are sitting on the market longer than usual, we account for that risk in our estimate.

Getting to an Opendoor final offer

Show us your home
Send us videos or do a live walkthrough. We’ll also examine the home’s exterior and look inside — it takes about 30 minutes.
We’ll review the details
Our local pricing experts review your videos and home details. Offers are typically finalized within a few days.

Final offer breakdown

Inside an Opendoor offer: costs and fees

Once an offer is finalized, we’ll send over a breakdown of charges, costs, and the total amount a seller takes away.

Service fee

We charge a 5% fee on every home we buy, similar to how commission works for real estate agents.

Repair costs

Costs are deducted for anticipated repairs, so you don’t have to pay cash up front to sell the home.

Closing costs

These are required in every home sale, and include things like title insurance and appraisal fees.

Net proceeds

This is the total amount the seller takes away, after all charges and costs are deducted.
